I think this conversation really needs it's own thread. But I wanted to add that it would be good to try dto draw something complex like the orb on draw and then on inkscape to get a full grasp of Draw limitations and advantages. Draw way of doing things are much more structure, meaning that has more dialogs to go through and less easy to use things like mouse. One example is the use of text. Inkscape will dinamically grow or reduce the fonts as the user resize the Text box. Draw will only c hange the size of the text box. Draw management of layers are much less intuitive than Inkscape, trying to lock or hide a layer is a button, while on draw is a hidden menu. Inkscape has a great color management (it could even be better with a always on text box of the hex). Draw is more strict with the palette and you need to introduce the color to the palette first to use it. Also much more limited palette. Gradients and transparencies are much more intensive to work in draw, althought the toolbar does provide some quick access to global transparency, there is only to the object and not the color. (same issue of the palette). I know Inkscape and Draw are contextually different, so I will even go into comparing Draw with Scribus. The way Scribus does gradients, shapes, layers, bitmap adjustment seems a bit less process intensive than Draw. > > Sincerely, > Armin > >>> >>>> >>>> - Dennis >>>> >>>> -----Original Message----- >>>> From: acolor...@gmail.com [mailto:acolor...@gmail.com] On Behalf Of >>>> Alexandro Colorado >>>> Sent: Saturday, October 06, 2012 09:28 >>>> To: ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org >>>> Subject: Re: OpenOffice SVG vector graphics >>>> >>>> On 10/6/12, Guy Waterval <waterval....@gmail.com> wrote: >>>>> Hi Alexandro, >>>>> Hi all, >>>>> >>>>> 2012/10/6 Alexandro Colorado <j...@oooes.org> >>>>> >>>>>> I upload the OpenOffice SVG logo on pure SVG, still needs some >>>>>> cleanup >>>>>> on the nodes, but this is a 100% SVG logo. >>>>>> The attachment is on the cWiki: >>>>>> >>>>>> >>> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/download/attachments/27834483/ApacheOpenOfficeTM.svg >>>>>> & >>>>>> >>>>>> >>> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpageattachments.action?pageId=27834483&sortBy=date&; >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> Many thanks for your work, it's appreciated. >>>>> Please, could you tell me how to reuse properly your work or any free >>>>> logo >>>>> of this type ?. >>>>> In a book there is no problem, a notice"Credits" can tell the author >>>>> and >>>>> license of the work. >>>>> But in other cases of use, as a banner on a car or as poster, how to >>>>> do >>>>> to >>>>> give credit of the reused work ?
